RENO — The expense of a pet is one of the many stresses we all share during the holiday season, but one that you can avoid with a little forethought. Consider cutting your pet expenses by looking at your spending habits, and you'll be so "ho-ho happy" you did.
Use this festive season to make a pet plan; your family pets do not have to cost a fortune. Here are eight tips that will help you set the tone for 2012 with a new furry family member or all the beloved pets you already own:
1. Research, research, research. If you're thinking about getting a new pet, first figure out what the price and basic needs will cost you. You might discover that certain pets are not in your budget right now.
2. Adopt from a rescue organization. You will be saving a pet from an uncertain future, and you will pay less for a new pet that is already fixed, de-clawed and had all shots.
3. Shop around for the very best veterinarian at the best price. Choose one with the expertise your pet requires.
4. If you already have a veterinarian, check the office's bulletin board. Other clients might freely offer you their animal if they know he or she is going to a good home, thus saving you the initial cost of a pet.
5. Learn to groom your own pet. You can carefully trim nails, and wash and cut hair at home.
6. If you are loyal to a pet food brand, then you should visit the company's website and sign up for its special coupons and offers.
7. Buy recycled toys from charity shops for your pet; these can be an inexpensive alternative to the new pricey, pet shop toys.
8. If you are traveling, instead of taking on the added expense of a pet sitter, look for pet-friendly hotels or other accommodations and take your pet with you. Save money and get the added benefit of stress-relief that your pet provides at the holidays.

- The Comptroller Kicks off His 'Shop Maryland for the Holidays' Tour in Baltimore -
Annapolis, Md. (November 28, 2011) – Thanksgiving is over, and while many are still eating leftovers, Comptroller Franchot today visited Mondawmin Mall in Baltimore to help kick off his annual holiday 'Shop Maryland for the Holidays' tour through the state.
"Shop Maryland for the Holidays is a way to encourage Marylanders to shop in state and support their communities for the holiday gift giving season," says Comptroller Franchot. "I encourage Marylanders to get off the Internet and patronize local businesses. You can get great deals and help the more than 500,000 Marylanders employed in our state's retail sector." he added.
According to the President of the Maryland Retail Association, Patrick Donoho, retail is directly and indirectly responsible for 16% of Maryland's gross domestic product (GDP), or about $44 million.
Mondawmin Mall is the first of seven stops on the Comptroller's tour to promote the great retailers and community shopping areas throughout the state. Comptroller Franchot will visit other communities in the coming weeks such as Annapolis (Anne Arundel County), Easton (Talbot County), Hunt Valley (Baltimore County), Hagerstown (Washington County), Queenstown (Queen Anne's County) and Salisbury (Wicomico County).
The Comptroller also reminds consumers that in state shopping puts citizens' hard earned money back into their communities and also supports local businesses that employ our friends and neighbors.

Summary of Ember's Kiss Summary of Ember's Kiss Reviews for Ember's Kiss An Excerpt from Ember's Kiss
For centuries, the shape-shifting dragon warriors known as the Pyr have hidden themselves from mankind, defending the earth's treasures in secrecy. But as the final reckoning with the Slayers—who are determined to eradicate both humans and the Pyr who protect them—heats up, even the most ancient secrets will be revealed.…
Brandon Merrick is determined to banish his shifter nature forever. The charismatic tattooed surfer is on the cusp of the ultimate challenge—to prove himself on the whitecaps of Hawaii and secure his future as a pro surfer. But his dragon isn't prepared to be tamed so easily....
One look at marine biologist Liz Barrett ignites the spark of a firestorm: Liz is his destined mate and his chance for happiness. While Brandon sees their first night together as just the beginning, his dragon seizes the upper hand. Awakening in the company of a raging dragon challenges Liz's ability to believe her own eyes. Can Brandon accept his inner beast in time to make it work with Liz?
Neither one realizes Brandon is caught in an ancient Slayer's scheme to enslave him. When the deadly plot ignites, the very island will be at risk...and Brandon and his mate could be the ultimate sacrifice.

Social Work Program
You're passionate about social justice and engaged in your community. You're a problem solver by nature, always striving to make the world a better place. Have you considered earning a bachelor's degree in social work?
Fontbonne University's Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) is a new program, developed with the very latest methods, theory and information available in the field. This unique major combines coursework in the classroom and field education at practicum sites within the community, cultivating prepared, well-rounded professionals.
Why the Social Work Program with Fontbonne?
At Fontbonne, the social work degree program prepares students to utilize the knowledge, values and skills they learn for generalist social workpractice. Instructors ready students to become ethical professionals committed to social and economic justice as they serve and empower individuals, families and communities. Students are encouraged to have a positive influence on our ever-changing world.
The social work program combines classroom experiences, designed to lay the foundation for a lifetime of knowledge, with fieldwork, opportunities for students to apply that knowledge in a real world environment. Students will complete 480 hours of field education learning in addition to their coursework. This experiential learning model truly allows students to develop their skills and become competent practicing social workers in whatever area they choose to work.
Program courses are divided into three categories: introductory, core and practice. Introductory courses serve as the basic foundation in social work and provide an introduction into the history of social work, concepts and social work theory. Core courses represent the heart of the program and give students a deeper understanding of their field. Practice courses are offered in seven different areas and provide realworld applications in specified topics of social work.
What Can I Do With My Degree?
When you complete your degree, you have a broad range of opportunities ahead of you. You might work in case management, counseling families and children, developing community education programs, advocating for social policy advancement, or crisis intervention - and these are only a few options. Social workers are found in many places; they are in schools, hospitals, not-for-profit agencies, mental health organizations, judicial systems, philanthropic foundations, senior service centers, and other places.
After earning your degree, you could become a Licensed Baccalaureate Social Worker (LBSW) by passing a state exam or a Licensed Baccalaureate Social Worker-Independent Practice (LBSW-IP), which requires additional supervised experience along with passing the state exam. You could also continue on with your education to pursue a Master's in Social Work (MSW) or even a doctorate (PhD) and earn a License in Clinical Social Work (LCSW).

"If I have a hero, it's him," Ingram said.
On display at the museum in Eastaboga is a pocket-sized Bible stained with blood. George Ingram had it on him when he was killed in the aviation building of the naval base. His brother is committed to making sure people remember that day, and others.
"I'm going to instill in people to keep it going," he said, referring to the memory of all veterans of foreign wars.
Friday marked the 71st anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The day passed quietly in Calhoun County, with no public events marking the anniversary.
Ingram said it irritates him that so few people properly commemorate the event. On TV, news channels play the same grainy footage of smoke billowing out of ships, he said, but no one actually speaks with the veterans who lived through it.
That may be because so few of them are left.
Ken Rollins, a member of the Alabama Board of Veterans Affairs, said three surviving residents in Calhoun County witnessed the attack on Pearl Harbor: Bill Nestor, George Murray and Harvey Albea. Two other veteran witnesses, Glenn McNeill and Paul Joyce, died recently.
Rollins, who helps organize annual ceremonies in Anniston for both Memorial Day and Veterans Day, said the only local event commemorating Pearl Harbor that he can recall occurred on Sept. 20, 2001, when 600 people gathered in Centennial Park to mark the day.
"We've just become complacent," he said.
In 2010, McNeill, Murray, Nestor and Joyce served as the grand marshals for Anniston's Veteran's Day Parade. Nestor, a former officer of the Alabama Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, said that until McNeill and Joyce died, the four men met for lunch every month.
"We were like brothers," he said.
Nestor was a seacoast artilleryman in the U.S. Army and was serving at Fort Barrette in Hawaii on Dec. 7, 1941. He and a group of friends were driving to Honolulu when they came across Pearl Harbor and saw the billowing smoke as they looked down a cliff.
"We were shocked," he said. "I was just a 19-year-old kid."
Nestor said he and his friends assumed the ships were sabotaged because few people expected the Japanese forces to attack by air. Nestor said that it wasn't until a policeman pointed to the sky that he and his friends saw the kamikaze pilots.
Ninety-year-old Nestor said the local group of Pearl Harbor survivors often visited schools to talk about the event, something the four men enjoyed.
"It will surprise you," he said. "They ask many questions."
At Bob Ingram's museum, there's also a wooden box that held the bottle of champagne used to christen the Navy destroyer named in honor of George Ingram in 1946.
Ingram, 73, was 2 years old when his brother died in Hawaii. However, he said that throughout his life, his mother emphasized the sacrifice his older brother made. That's a big reason for the museum, he said.
Ingram said school groups often come to the museum. He said he enjoys showing them pictures of the ship named after George Ingram as well as the sailor's uniform, medals and post cards that he sent home.
"That gives me a chance to tell a little story about my brother," he said.
Rollins said seeking firsthand accounts of events like Pearl Harbor becomes more important with each passing year.
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, there were 1,462,809 living World War II veterans in the United States as of November. There were a total of 16,112,566 U.S. service members in the conflict, and 405,399 were killed during the war.
"I think our schools, churches and parents should pass on to children what that means," Rollins said. "They should take the time to call them (World War II veterans), send them a card, something to thank them for all they've done."

Often you have a thought about someone. You feel you want to communicate something, but cannot do this. You then set up an energy (thought) block in the throat chakra. Perhaps you are frightened to open the door to the spiritual part of you. You think about this but do not do it. You then create an energy (thought) block in the third eye or crown chakra.
To give an example of just two areas of blockage: Because it cannot be seen it stays there over earth time – often for many incarnations – becoming more and more angry because it cannot move. You have stopped it by not acting and allowing the created energy to flow. It then turns inwards trying to get back to its creator. But it cannot do this because it is not possible. It is of the spiritual, not the physical, and it needs a spiritual channel to remove it. It has been created; you cannot un-create it except by spiritual healing or divine intervention of some sort such as prayer. All thought is energy, and all energy has to move forward. Just like the human sperm of the male has only one purpose – and that is to fertilize the female – so energy as thought has only one purpose and that is to create what has been thought. Negative thoughts will create negative realities; positive thoughts will create positive realities.
That is how blockages are created. Only the Divine Energy of the spiritual realms can clear these blocks. Through your own bringing in of that energy (if you are not too heavily blocked with negative energy or through someone else such as a healer) the power of the spiritual energy can (if there is the right channel for that energy) shift the energy block and dissipate it until it does, in fact, return to where it came from, i.e.., Universal Energy. Removing this stagnant, negative energy then allows the spiritual body to vibrate at a higher rate (frequency) of vibration.

CHARLES TOWN - For anyone looking for a reason to dust off their old patent leather platforms and dance in the new year, the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races will send 2012 out with a boogie night party Monday evening.
Christine Parker said she is planning a "groovy grab-bag" event during the day, during which the prize patrol will be visiting guests beginning at 10 a.m. Monday, leading into the night for the dance party at the H Lounge.
"If you want your 2012 ending to be meaningful, this would be the place to be," Parker, who handles marketing for the casino, said.
The band Sylk, Satin and Lace from Las Vegas, Nev., will perform live at the H Lounge for the scheduled dance party Monday evening beginning at 9 p.m.
Parker said this concert is the perfect opportunity for visitors and locals alike to celebrate together to the 1970s and '80s-themed event.
"The band is fabulous, and will take the stage at the H Lounge. It's also a free concert," Parker said.
The boogie nights theme will kick off running themed dance parties the casino is planning beginning next Friday. The Ultimate '70s and '80s Dance Party will be held every Friday night beginning in the new year.
Attendees of Monday evening's party are encouraged to dress up as their favorite '70s and '80s characters, but no masks are allowed. Characters party-goers can expect include Mr. Boogie, Hula Hoop Girl and Roller Girl.
"If you want to feel funky, this is the place to be," Parker said.

I'm impressed by the specs/features list of the Jacuzzi brand Duetta whirlpool tub but on doing some internet searches (and search on this forum) I'm finding ZERO reviews/customer feedback on it. Does anyone own one (or an installer who has installed one ) can post some feedback on it?
Or another question where is a good place to read reviews of whirlpool tubs? Is there such a place?
Thanks in advance!

Gambhir and Kallis seal Knight Riders victory
Jacques Kallis and Gautam Gambhir both scored half centuries to help the Kolkata Knight Riders cruise to a 9 wicket victory over the Rajasthan Royals.
The pair came together in the 2nd over after the early loss of Manvinder Bisla and steered the visitors to victory over the previously undefeated Royals who had started the tournament with back to back victories.
Kallis (80) lead the way smashing 7 fours and 2 sixes while Gambhir (75) smashed 11 fours and 1 six during the pairs Indian Premier League record 2nd wicket stand of 152.
Despite having Shane Watson available for the first time in this years tournament the Royals relied on Ross Taylor (35) and Rahul Dravid (35) to help home side reached a competitive total of 159-4.
Faced with a tricky run chase the visitors suffered an early blow after Bisla was given out in controversial circumstances by the TV umpire Russell Tiffin who decided the opener had been run out by wicket keeper Amit Paunikar even though replays showed the ball had popped out of Paunikars gloves before he broke the stumps.
With Bisla back in the dugout Kallis launched the Knight Riders counter attack by dispatching Ashok Menaria for a boundary and a six over long off in the 3rd over.
Nayan Doshi was treated to the same punishment before Gambhir dispatched 4 boundaries off the bowling of Amit Singh in the 6th over to register the pairs 50 run partnership.
The milestone was reached in just 26 deliveries, two fewer then the total needed for the Knight Riders skipper who reached his own half century in the 11th over.
All-rounder Kallis recorded his own half century, his third in a row, 3 overs later as the Knight Riders slowly made their way to a comfortable victory.
The day got worst for the Royals when Gambhir was caught out on the boundary by Johan Botha but Siddharth Trivedi was no-balled by Aleem Dar who had spotted the home side had only got three fielders inside the circle.
The costly mistake was compounded by Botha who realised it was a no-ball and threw the ball towards wicket keeper Paunikar who had gone off to celebrate the wicket with his teammates leaving the ball to go for 4 over throws.
Having survived the drama Gambhir and Kallis wasted little time recording the Knight Riders victory with 9 balls to spare, ending the Royals unbeaten start to this years tournament.
Having been put into bat by Gautam Gambhir, the Royals got off to a slow start on a tired looking wicket which the Knight Riders bowlers used to great effect with a mixture of short and slower deliveries.
Although Jaques Kallis conceded 10 runs in the 3rd over the Royals struggled to get their innings started and were doubt a further blow in the next over when Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan struck with just his third delivery.
The 24 year old, playing in his first match since arriving in India after Bangladeshs 3-0 ODI series defeat against Australia, struck with a slower delivery which Paunikar (9) edged to Kallis at short third man to leave the home side 26-1.
Surprisingly, with Shane Watson and Johan Botha in the line up the Royals promoted Menaria up the order but he didnt disappoint during a 2nd wicket partnership of 52 with Dravid.
The pair finally broke the shackles to get the Royals innings underway and although the partnership wasnt explosive they did give the home side a solid base to push on during the second half of the innings.
With the game evenly balanced the Knight Riders regained the upper hand thanks to former Royals all-rounder, Pathan, who struck twice to remove Dravid (35) and Menaria (27) in the space of 3 deliveries in the 12th which reduced the Royals to 79-3.
The dismissal of Dravid brought Watson to the crease fresh from his dismantling of the Bangladesh bowling attack for Australia last week and the Aussie wasted little time announcing his arrival with a massive six off the bowling of Shakib Al Hasan in the 14th over.
Watson, in partnership with Taylor put together a 4th wicket partnership of 45 which put the home side in control before Shakib Al Hasan struck to remove Watson.
Having just been dispatched for a six the Bangladesh skipper responded brilliantly with a fuller delivery which Watson (22) failed to slog sweep for another six as the ball crashed into the stumps.
Despite the lose Taylor and new partner Botha (12) continued to attack the bowlers to help the Royals reach a competitive total of 159-4 as they look to make it three wins out of three.

Addison gave Sam an ultimatum before she left for Seattle. Either they have a baby or they're through. Sam hasn't made up his mind yet. More on that later. Right now, Addy and Sam treat Val, a pregnant woman who has cancer. The only way they can help her is to deliver the baby at 25 weeks. The newborn child could come out with a slew of serious complications. Val says she'll carrying the baby to term even if it kills her.
Val needs to give Gary the baby he's always wanted. She once had an abortion without telling him at a time when her career was starting to take off. Val's condition goes from bad to worse. They need to start treatment immediately, but she won't change her mind. Addison nudges her to tell her hubby the truth. Unfortunately, Gary doesn't take the news well.
Eventually, Gary and Val agree to go forward with the C-section. They love each other and want to have a baby together. This case hits close to home for the doctors involved. Addison can't wait anymore. She wants to have a baby right now. There can be no compromise. This has Sam wondering if that means they are breaking up. Frankly, we're wondering the same thing.

Travis Stout pitched in two of the three games in JSU's sweep of SIU Edwardsville over the weekend and three times last week. Some arms might need some time after that kind of use, but no way does it impact the sophomore right-hander's availability this week.
The Gamecocks (11-10) have two mid-week games in the run up to a big conference series at Austin Peay this weekend — tonight against Troy (12-6) at Rudy Abbott Field and Wednesday at Alabama (11-9) — and Stout could play a big role in them all.
If he is needed in either game — or both — he will be called, JSU coach Jim Case has said. Stout said if he is called, he will be ready.
"I know my role," Stout said. "We've talked about it. I have to go out there and deal with as much of the game I can with the least amount of pitches because I have to be ready day after day. At this point in the year, we're conditioned enough that we can keep going and going and going."
Stout hasn't pitched in every JSU contest this season, it's just seemed that way.
He has worked in 10 of the Gamecocks' 21 games this season and has had a hand in seven of their 11 wins. He was credited with his first win of the season Sunday. In that case, he was summoned in the eighth to prevent more damage after the Cougars homered to take the lead. He also has converted all six save opportunities this year. Going back to last season, he has wins in his last six decisions.
Think Todd Hornsby with a more conventional delivery. Hornsby, the Ohio Valley Conference's all-time saves leader, appeared in 61 of the Gamecocks' 117 games the past two seasons and had a hand in 35 of their 64 wins.
"First of all he's an adrenaline junkie. He loves that," Case said of Stout. "That's a good thing for a closer to be. He loves pressure situations. He has a lot of confidence. He pitches way better when things are tight and on the line than he does when they are not. He's not scared at all. He can throw any of his pitches at any time.
"We're still trying to develop him as a closer, really. With Hornsby around here there wasn't a whole lot of room for developing closers, so we're still trying to develop that. I just want this team to know that every time we're in that situation … the ball will end up in Stout's hand sooner or later if we've got the lead."
That was the idea with Hornsby and Alex Jones before him. When Case called them from the bullpen, the case was closed. The players are starting to feel that way about Stout.
"There's no room for doubt in any of our minds when he comes in," outfielder Adam Miller said. "He feeds off that adrenaline in the last inning. We know he loves it and we know that's his job."
Added Miller: "We basically have no other option but to trust him. It comes down to we know he's going to go out there and he's going to give us his best."
Stout called it "an honor" to follow the likes of Hornsby and Jones, both submarine-style pitchers by the end of their JSU careers. He's part of that legacy now.
"I guess there's a little bit of pressure because I'm the closer and I have to deal with that stuff," he said. "But I feel like I have the stuff to be able to close out any game any situation."
When Stout first got his chance to pitch for the Gamecocks last season he was hoping he would catch enough eyes to someday become part of the Gamecocks' starting rotation. The idea of being a starter is all behind him now.
"I like this role a lot now," he said. "It's adrenaline rushing and I like that."

Seriously, I waited here in San Antonio for half a year to get mine and bought another .45 before it came in. My Ruger 1911 has never been fired. I just don't need another large .45. I'd like good one for concealed carry. I'd let the Ruger go for what I paid (600) but I don't know how to advertise that, and gun stores only give you half of what you paid.
Anybody know how to get the word out on doing that in your local area?

Campaigners vow 18-month battle against Heathrow expansion after Davies Commission reports third runway is preferred option
9:41am Tuesday 17th December 2013 in News By Clare Buchanan
Heathrow campaigners vowed to keep fighting after the Davies Commission released its interim report today, revealing a new runway at the airport was a preferred option.
The report revealed three immediately shortlisted options of a third runway at Heathrow, lengthening an existing runway at Heathrow or a new runway at Gatwick - with an estuary airport in Kent to be considered at a later date.
The commission said one new runway would be needed in London and the south-east by 2030 and in the next 18 months it will assess whether that runway should be at Gatwick or Heathrow.
Campaigners said today's announcement was the "trigger to 18 months of intense campaigning against Heathrow expansion".
Lord True, leader of Richmond Council, said: "This is a report that deserves to be binned, completely failing to consider any visionary alternative to the problem of Heathrow.
"Earlier this year, the residents of west London gave a resounding 'no' to Heathrow in the referendum held by this borough and the London borough of Hillingdon.
"More than 140,000 people turned out with 80 per cent of our residents saying they would not accept any expansion at Heathrow.
"We have made it abundantly clear to both the bosses of Heathrow and the Government that expansion is off the table, it would further blight the residents of this borough with incessant noise and we will use all measures available to us to block any proposals.
"We expect the Prime Minister to keep his oft-repeated election promise – 'No ifs, no buts, no third runway'."
John Stewart, chairman of Hacan, which represents residents under the Heathrow flights paths, said: "Although Davies's proposals focus less on Heathrow than had been rumoured, there is little doubt they will act as the trigger to 18 months of intense campaigning against Heathrow expansion.
"A new runway will increase planes from 480,000 a year to 560,000. There is no way overall noise levels will decrease.
"The scale of the opposition will be so great that we believe that they are politically undeliverable and should have been dropped at this stage."
The commission dropped the option of a new runway to the south of Heathrow, largely because of the difficulties posed by reservoirs.
Vince Cable, MP for Twickenham, said: "The Davies Commission interim report has put Heathrow at the front of its thinking which is questionable economically, damaging environmentally and probably undeliverable politically.
"My strong view is that the Davies review should not decide to press ahead with Heathrow options and I will be making that view known in the strongest terms.
"I fully support the need to improve UK business links with airports in the emerging markets of Asia which is important for jobs, but this could be achieved more quickly by reforming and reallocating airport slots; by building up point to point services; and by strengthening the capacity of UK regional airports.
"Such is the impact of noise on hundreds of thousands of people in London that pushing ahead with Heathrow expansion is almost certainly the worst option for expanding airport capacity."
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has spoken out against the expansion of Heathrow and continued his push for the estuary airport, dubbed Boris Island.
He said: "A new airport in the inner estuary is the only credible hub option left. By keeping it on the table, Davies is saying you have a choice - between a damaging U-turn or a radical new vision for expansion."
The commission, led by Sir Howard Davies, will also consider a new airport in the Isle of Grain, north Kent but said it did not believe the two new runways that airport would have would be required for the foreseeable future.
Sir Howard Davies said: "Decisions on airport capacity are important national strategic choices and must be based upon the best evidence available.
"The commission has undertaken a fresh, comprehensive and transparent study of the issues.
"This report is the product of extensive consultation, independent analysis and careful consideration by the commissioners.
"The UK enjoys excellent connectivity today. The capacity challenge is not yet critical but it will become so if no action is taken soon and our analysis clearly supports the provision of one net additional runway by 2030. In the meantime we encourage the government to act on our recommendations to make the best of our existing capacity.
"The commission will now focus on the challenge of appraising the three options, further assessing the case for a new airport in the Thames Estuary, and delivering a robust final recommendation to government in summer 2015."
The report rejected plans to expand Stansted and plans for a new runway at Heathrow which would lead to the demolition of the town of Sipson.
A final report is due by summer 2015, two months after the general election.

This government is so used to betraying groups of voters that it's simply water off a ducks back. The future for West London is one of greater noise, greater pollution and greater risk from malfunctioning aircraft (BA038 on 17 Jan 2008 - coming down short of the runway was due to sheer skill from the pilot and sheer good luck, next time we may not be so lucky).
This sounds like Directorships all round after politics for those currently in power.

If Heathrow is expanded then the flight path needs to be changed. It is ludicrous that anyone can find it acceptable that an airport with as many arrivals a day as Heathrow has, can have planes flying right up the guts of London, the most heavily populated of the Greater London area.
Expand Gatwick, it is in the countryside and less people will be affected.

Heathrow is getting busier every week and without more and more airplanes in the air, it is only a matter of time that there will be a mid-air collision, it is not a matter of sooner or later it might happen it is a matter when it happens and I think it will be sooner rather than later.
Do these people go abroad for their holiday? I bet they go by plane when and if they do, would they like to be in a mid-air collision? I bet they wouldn't. They would be leaving family and friends behind, What about the debris field hitting the ground below the collision? It would be spread far and wide, most probably killing more people and they would be leaving more families and friends behind. Then there's the fire brought on by the fuel, which is highly flammable and it is hard to put out without the proper facilities, which the government is cutting back on, closing the fire stations, getting rid of our heroic firefighters.
So, before you start saying NO to the Heathrow expansion, or any other airport in the south east, think of the consequences. I know we all don't want something like this in our backyard, but it has to be done, before there is any avoidable deaths, it won't be just one or two, it will be in the hundreds.

Culverin says...
You seem to misunderstand that Heathrow development means more aircraft, and therefore, more chance of mid-air collision.
Have you already forgotten the newsreel of BA038 in January 2008 crashing before the runway? It's only thanks to the skill of the pilots on that flight that it didn't come down on the road and houses only metres away.
That's presumably one of the reasons that Cameron said "No ifs. No buts. No third runway" at Heathrow airport. There's nowhere else in the World that risks aircraft flying in over the most populated area of its capital city.
Surely if the government can't commit to such a simple pledge how are we ever going to get to grips with greater hazards like global warming?

dellboy twick. wrote:I agree. I think it is ridiculous that the residents are supposed to have expected the airport to grow to many times it's original size. Perhaps doubling would have been ok, but going up from 70 million?
those who say it's our own fault for moving into this area should remember the statistics; heathrow has expanded from 27 million passengers in the late seventy's too 69.9 million in 2012. Terminals 4&5 built, T2 having a 1 billion refit. Things have changed, the only reason for expansion is profit , the cost to us is increased noise, pollution, road and rail traffic
Clearly I am biased, but the whole thing doesn't seem to have been thought through. I am sure I heard that the estuary hub proposal involved actually closing Heathrow! WHY? Why on earth can't we have Heathrow as it is now and another hub to start taking on the extra demand as it comes.
We will be here again in 20 years time having the same arguments at this rate.
Heathrow as it stands shows exactly why having one hub is a bad idea. There are only two ways of getting there from central London which are either slow or exhorbitantly expensive and once you get there, all of the services are so overwhelmed that it takes too long to get on to your plane.
They need to build all of the extra infrastructure before they build they new runways in my opinion just to bring it back to working properly at it's current capacity.
Heathrow is my nearest airport geographically by quite some margin, but I always choose to fly from Gatwick or even City because thet overall experience is much quicker, cheaper and less hassle.

Cameron in opposition = "we will stop Heathrow expansion - end of story".
Cameron in charge of the government = speaking to his big business friends and stabbing every single voter in the back.
The man is a piece of low life, lying slime. His latest thing? He cannot believe that so many in the House of Lords have their snouts in the trough. Sure, we believe you, Dave! Let us not forget how he was a very close friend with the likes of Rebekah Brooks, that litmus test for honesty. Oh yes and that one of his closest advisers was selling access to him... Like he didn't know about that. The sooner this parasite is out of number 10, the better.
I may not be a fan of Zac Goldsmith or Boris, but at least they are sticking to their promises to oppose Heathrow expansion.

It's so reassuring to hear the above words of Vince 'Nuclear Option' Cable.
If push comes to shove we can always rely on him to do what Nick Clegg tells him to. Vince has been more loyal to the government than any other MP sitting, when given the choice to support his constituents or his party, it's party all the time. Next up is the Lobbying (or more accurately gagging) Bill which doesn't stop the Lobbyists and PR spivs from throwing all they've got at government - it just halts charities, trade unions and, more importantly in this case, campaign groups so we will be massively restricted from campaigning in election year/airport year
Of course, The Liberal Democrats are keen - got to silence the students that were betrayed on fees. Wouldn't want them ruining their chances of power again.
Still, the impressive Zac Goldsmith certainly has principles so we might have hope yet even if Boris is still talking about fairy tales in the middle of the Thames. Why aren't more politicians independently minded like Goldsmith?
I hope he doesn't move to UKIP.

So to all you opponents of Heathrow expansion, can we all take it that you never fly, and that if you do, you make a point of using an airport well away from London?

The only sensible option in the airport inquiry would have been "none of the above". All options involve driving more congestion into the south east, sucking all economic life from the rest of the country and turning this region into a vast sterile car park.

I wish them luck. The whole thing is based on the ludicrous quest for economic growth at all costs. We need sustainability, not growth, and the projections for air travel needs are simply not sustainable on any level (environmental damage, fuel use, public mobility).

If what you are proposing is 'managing demand' , which rather suggests the mechanism to do this is by increasing the price of air travel.
A little bit elitest dont you think?

But what I was originally talking about was the need to broaden our use of resources nationally. It's not just about the air travel, but also the knock-on effects in terms of house prices, air quality, traffic congestion... concentrating airport expansion on the SE will (just like HS2) strip economic power from other regions, adding to the unsustainable situation in the SE.

metis - at some point, demand control is going to have to happen, as distasteful as it is. As dellboy twick points out, the resources are finite. And to be fair, air travel already is elitist. Cheap flights have steadily been saddled with more and more awkward compromises every since they became common (and that's only 15 years or so). Choice and convenience are still only for the rich.

Air travel, techie stuff even fridges, infact all modern day comforts were only afforded by the rich when they were first invented. Modern production methods and other improvements aided by free market capitalism has made them available to ordinary folk and improved peoples lives no end.

Step back in time to the Old West of the 1890s at Old Trail Town!
This is not Hollywood, this is the real West.
On this site in 1895, Western scout and showman William F. ("Buffalo Bill") Cody laid out the original townsite of Cody, Wyoming, which was named in his honor. Today Old Trail Town preserves the lifestyle and history of the Frontier West through a rare collection of authentic structures and furnishings. From remote locations in Wyoming and Montana these historic buildings were carefully disassembled, moved and reassembled here at Old Trail Town by Western historian Bob Edgar and friends.
Located here also are thousands of historic artifacts from the Old West and grave sites of several notable Western figures. Among the is the grave of mountain man John Johnson, who was portrayed by the actor Robert Redford in the 1972 motion picture "Jeremiah Johnson".
Here too are original cabins used by Old West outlaws Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and a Wyoming saloon frequented by Cassidy's "Hole-in-the-Wall Gang". Also on this site is the log cabin home of "Curley" a Crow Indian army scout who helped guide Lt Col. George A. Custer and the U.S. 7th Cavalry to the battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876. Old Trail Town exists today as a memorial to the uniquely American experience known throughout the world as "the Old West".

On Democracy in Russia - and Elsewhere
A faculty lecture by Richard Anderson, UCLA, Political Science.
Published: Friday, January 27, 2012
Richard Anderson trained as a specialist on Soviet politics and foreign policy. With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, his interests shifted to the study of moves toward democracy. He is the author of Public Politics in an Authoritarian State (Cornell University Press, 1993), co-author of Post-Communism and the Theory of Democracy (Princeton University Press, 2001), and is now completing a large project investigating whether the discursive shifts documented in his publications on the transition from Soviet dictatorship to Russian democracy in the 1990s reproduce patterns of discourse encountered around the world and throughout history in other polities.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

Without using software utilities, you can use a drive for both Windows and Mac by formatting the drive to FAT32. However, data reliability and file size limitations will be the disadvantage. I recommend purchasing utility software such as NTFS for Mac (Mac Software) or MacDrive (Windows Software).

anyone else have any advice?
Are you on Modem Firmware 2.28.00? (Settings > General > About)
This is the method that always works for me.
Install Yellowsn0w.
Reboot twice using BossPrefs.
If you still dont get coverage, Remove SIM and pop it back in.
Try Enabling and Disabling Airplane Mode.
If still no joy, Reboot using BossPrefs once more.
Once you reboot, you should see a Searching.. and consequently coverage will appear.
This always works for me.
Be 100% sure that your bb is uptodate first. Reinstall everyhting, YS 095 and try the above stuff. If it fails for some reason turn off 3G settings and try to get it work.
Does your sim have welcome message or sim toolkit applications on it? Any Pin set?

Nurse Goodbody, Dingbat & Dr. Shock
Dr. Shock & Dingbat
Dr. Shock
The Original Dr. Shock, Tommy Reynolds
If you're looking for Dr. Shock, don't bother lifting coffin lids or poking around cemeteries after dark. Ditto for the old WTVC studios in the Golden Gate Shopping Center, home of the original Shock Theatre. Shock's current lair is in a suitably funky former hair salon on an appropriately shadowy block of a less-traveled downtown street. The windows are blacked out and a sign on the door alludes to the mischief within: "Nobody gets in to see the wizard. Not nobody. Not no how." Just knock, goes the saying, the bell is out of order.
Most likely the Wizard of Odd will answer. That would be Scott Fillers, a local magician, horror movie enthusiast and yet another in a growing consortium of Friends of Shock Theatre who have lent their time, talent or, in this case, storefront to the recently revived horror host. Inside, a wall filled with Filler's kitschy horror movie collectibles shares space with the set pieces that form Shock's makeshift studio—cobwebbed stone pillars, a coffin, skulls and furniture that would not be out of place in Norma Desmond's Sunset Boulevard home.
Before Shock himself appears, I regard his button-eyed puppet sidekick, Dingbat, in repose across the crushed velvet couch. When Shock enters from an anteroom, he is shocking only in his lack of Shock-ness: No cape, no dark eye makeup, no dangling cigarette, the latter a signature prop—along with the skull-topped cane—of the original Dr. Shock. "I had to quit smoking," this Shock says, apologetically.
Shock is in street clothes, in this case his mortal form's casual attire. Local musician Jack Gray is still feeling the weight of the cape and finding his footing a year after accidentally ascending to the role. But it's surprising how much Gray, a heavy-set man with hound-dog eyes, a weary smile and an easygoing manner, resembles his predecessor, the late Tommy Reynolds.
Bob Brandy, Miss Marcia and, most notably, Dr. Shock, are figures who still exist in the nostalgic, gauzy memory of those who lived in the region during the 1960s and '70s. With the exception of Miss Marcia, who still appears on local TV, most have died, as have the shows that propelled them into the hearts of viewers. Reynolds, a longtime program director at WTVC/Channel 9, earned cult celebrity status in 1970s Chattanooga as host of Shock Theatre, the station's campy late-night horror movie fest that aired on Saturday nights from 1968 to 1975. Abetted by his curiously disturbing puppet sidekick Dingbat (created and voiced by Dan East) and the curvaceous Nurse Goodbody (Patricia Abney), Reynolds single-handedly introduced the genre to the local market.
At first, Reynolds—who began his on-air career as Shock in the 1960s hosting Science Fiction Theater on WTVC—adopted a camp Dracula persona, introducing and ridiculing a series of mostly low-budget horror and science-fiction movies during commercial breaks. He took the show to a new level when he began lobbing satirical bombs at local politicians, the Lookout Mountain elite and his fellow media personalities along with sometimes risqué comic bits that flew over the heads of youthful viewers but quickly caught older fans' attention.
The pair would often push the envelope, straying into controversial territory, getting Reynolds and East got into hot water with station management, writes longtime local TV and radio personality David Carroll in his book Chattanooga Radio and Television. But their sometimes-naughty behavior just served to boost ratings—and advertiser response—Carroll recalls.
"Starting out as a radio deejay at that time, I can tell you that getting your name mentioned on Shock Theatre, even as part of a fake news story or other comedy routine, was huge," Carroll says.

You know you guys are great! I had someone notice my weight loss and toning today. It was really great and then To get on here and read all of the encouragement. It made my day! Especially after all week taking care of a child with the flu! :( I will be coaching the 4/5; and 7/8 year olds in soccer tonight for my little girls but will be running for my cardio after that. Between the new Achilles and 6 months off of my feet-I have much further to go...but I started at no running at all to getting to a 12 min mile in 12 weeks. I ran 4 miles on Friday. Many eons ago I ran a 6:30 mile-so I figure at 40 if I work hard-I can get it to 7. Being in Texas-there are lots of hot mommas running-I just want to keep up with my teenagers! :) thank goodness for protein drinks and bars to keep me going!
As a side note-hubby told me he got 2 miles in 18 minutes of the 20 today for cardio! So lots of progress all around!! Keep it up guys!!!! And keep posting!!!
Ok...I'm here...Got confused...thought I was on this forum and turned out I was on the young forum. Whatever...I will be setting goals soon. I don't know them all yet...but lose 10 lbs for sure!!! I must have realistic goals! They weren't so realistic last time!
Got to run to baseball games and take girls to dance...more later.
@thistime---welcome aboard, hope u hang in there.....this group is full of great idea and inspiration. you will be surprised at how fast 12 weeks go by and the results at the end are well worth the couple rough spots you will hit. When those rough spots hit, we will all help you through.
Happy to be joining my 9ers again! Upper body workout today. I am also training for the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay so I got a 4.5 mile run in as well! And feeling good! This summer weather makes me want to be active outside all day long! I'm loving it!
Hello all,
heading over here from the "young" board! Anyone else sore from yesterday? haha! I know I am!
I realized during my cardio today that I am so out of shape... but not for long! Woo Hoo!! 82 days to the improved me :)
Oh everybody, this is so refreshing! After a long day, with lots of doubting myself, I come back here and realize this is what it's all about. I CANNOT BELIEVE i tried to ever do this without you guys. It seriously brings me to tears (I know, already?). Well I am sore from my workout yesterday, definitely!
@Run: Get that room back together so you can get started! You but be itching to make some muscles sore!
@Frick: I love reading your writing. Your prose is eloquent! I know what you mean about the spring breakers! The gym was insane, but that is so cool that you can run on the beach. Take care of those joints, and I'll see you back here tomorrow :)
@Soccermom: I appreciated the email, and I can't wait to use all of those tips :)
@ CG TeXAS: Nice to meet you :)
@bucki: Can't wait to get to know you more!
@batmarshall: Good to meet you!
@ Aubreejo: hello! I am glad to be joining such an amazing group!
@ thistime: You got this! Remember, week 6 is our week. Let's do this together!
So guys, I am trying to to figure out my goals, because during the day (when I am not here) I just have thoughts that form out of nowhere that say, "You're not going to make it. You won't look like you used to..." And i have no idea where they come from! So, I am just trying to figure out how to set myself some specific, measurable, and achievable goals that will keep my going in those times. Any advice?
Amanda Joy
@ Mom of Four...glad you found your parking space here lol...we've all been there.
@hublgirl - welcome and you are right, you are already 2.4% of the way done. As bartmarshall posted...once it really gets into high gear...you will be amazed how fast it all goes by.
@aubreejo11 - sounds like you are starting super strong already with the cardio, awesome! I remember hiking in those Wasatch Mountains for six weeks or so in Price Canyon. Steep. Not sure where the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay is ...sounds like fun though...I'll have to Google it.
@Amanda Joy - 82 more days those will be tears of joy as we all cry together! No advice on the goal setting...though mine is net loss of 79,200 calories (10 kg /22 lbs). That will put me at my undergrad college weight. I also need to work better on eating more cleanly... and I have better tools now thanks to Frick and another person, TMastro...hope he will join us soon as well. He had great success on C1... Finally, I do have some summer events as well doing some activity with my daughter…I will post them later so you guys can hold my feet to the fire.
All for now ...elliptical again for the cardio trifecta...UBWO tomorrow...even if I have to move the weights outside …36 degrees F.
I am not going to tell you that it will be easy ... I am going to tell you that it will be worth it!
Hi All,
I'd love to join you here, if I may! I'm in week 3. Weeks one and two went really well, then I got sick (sore throat/hacking cough) and missed my workouts on Monday and Tuesday. Today I made it back to the gym and felt WEAK. So I'm happy for the positive energy you've got going here. Overall it's been going really well--at the end of week two, I've lost 4.5 pounds (total) and two inches off my waist. So I just have to keep on keeping on, and I'll be strong and feeling good again soon enough.
Amanda Joy: I know we all have that negative self talk. When I hear those things - like you'll never change - you'll always be "ugly, fat, out of shape"....I say out loud That's not my thought. and This conversation is over. I have actually said it audibly but softly when I have been in a public place. It takes awhile to get rid of our negative self talk - but it can be done. And you will make it and you will succeed!
So this is the offical thread!!! for the Jan 9th C2'ers - the the April 9th C1'er...
My focus this time around is my eating program. That is the hardest thing for, i travel alot for work, and meals are paid by my company so taking a cleint for dinner and letting them order = NO SELF CONTROL!
However this time is different...
But to all... keep up the good work ! keep it doing...
Ill tell you guys I got very strong lifting. Increased my max by about 30% - benched press 345 lbs, my leg press 675 lbs , and was using 75 lbs dumbells for shoulder press!!!
Even thought my scale said I only lost about 9 lbs, I lost inches in my waist and that to me is the most important!
Awesome job BKTUNA and glad you found us.
You keep me honest with the eating and I will try to do the same.
I too travel...not as much as I used to. When I did a lot of traveling internationally, it really built the carbo laden fat body I am now fighting...so I know it is hard ...but I know you can get it down with some selective eating choices. I have changed the way I eat now when I eat out and it has helped...through it is not always 100% clean...progress not perfection right!
Hey 9'ers!!! Yesterday was great. Went to the gym in the evening and there were not any treadmills open so I relegated myself to the elliptical machine. Ohman did I forget how hard the elliptical machine was! I was still sore from LBWO the day before and my thighs were killing. Did my 20 minutes then moved to abs. Eating has been good and solid. My berries are getting low so today I moved to grapes and oranges for my complex carbs.
So I might get weird here, but does anyone from C1 notice that their fat is coming to the surface? So I was standing in the mirror last night and noticed that although my thighs are smaller, my bum and saddlebags are flabbier? Does this make sense? I would like to think that it's because the fat is being pushed to the surface and is coming off? I think before I had solid cold fat and now my fat is warming up and it being liquefied (this is the story I tell myself to feel better LOL!!!!!!!!) Is anyone seeing the same thing?
@Frick: would have loved to see you hurdle over the child…HAHA
@Soccermom: Congrats on the hubby. Wish my BF would join me on this journey. He is naturally thin but comes from a lineage of diabetics. At least he is eating healthy when I cook : )
@AmandaJoy: It is difficult to set goals in the first week, but its good practice. And remember that your goals will change. Try to set "weight" goals, strength goals and then tangible goals. For me it was to see collarbones and hipbones. Also if you don't have a lot of weight to lose, don't set high weight loss goals. It will only disappoint you. C1 I really wanted to lose 20 lbs. I came now where near that but did lose 10. Now I want to lose another 10 and be able to see some lower abs (belly button up I am solid). Good luck with your goals!!!
@faith: getting sick happens. The key is getting back into it! Don't give up!! I got vertigo during weeks 10-11 of my C1. It sucked. But then I got better and hit it hard! You can do this!
@Bktuna: doesn't it feel great to be strong. I am not nearly as strong as you, but for a girl I think I do pretty well. Its such an awesome feeling!!! Woot woot for you!!
Alrighty everyone happy hump day!!! UBWO for me later on tonight go little biceps go : )
Hey Everybody- I'd like to join in with you on this thread and Challenge as there seems to be a lot of talk about food- and I know that is where I have my focus this time around. I love the physical work-outs and do feel a lot stronger after the last Challenge I completed (Jan2-Mar25)... but I want to say bye-bye to the belly. And what's that old adage..."you can't out-exercise a poor diet".
I started on Apr 9, took my measurements and pics, did my goals. Now it's just a matter of doing it day in, day out!
@ BKTuna- I thought I was a stud when I leg-pressed the whole stack on the maching-400 lbs--but you hit 675??!! Are you sure your name isn't Clark Kent? Mercy!
@natalieCA - interesting observation
"So I might get weird here, but does anyone from C1 notice that their fat is coming to the surface?

I think before I had solid cold fat and now my fat is warming up and it being liquefied (this is the story I tell myself to feel better LOL!!!!!!!!) Is anyone seeing the same thing?"
I kinda feel the same as my arms have toned up and my legs have toned up and the backside is smaller and the waist has many notches off the belt...but I do notice that when I run or do the elliptical that my midsection, even though it is smaller, jiggles more. I know I have more to lose and most of it is there, but now it seems to have more/greater movement...Perhaps it is the soft coating covering a tighter core which is more ridged than it was before. Feeling the jiggles even more now though just make me workout mad at that portion of my body and I am stoked to try to shink it as fast as I can.
I think I need to drop another 20+ lbs and hope to hit most of that with this C2 at that point I hope I will be close to having the midsection tone as well as other parts of my body that are resisting...so I am with you there...
Advice on diet:
this is what i will eat today...

"I love these save the dates. To the color and text. The images came out really clear. My family and friends loved the idea of the magnets instead of paper. Thank you weddingpaperdivas for a phenomenal product. I will be ordering my invitations, ceremony programs and thank you cards."
"This product was awesome! Everyone who received one, exclaimed just how classy, distinguished and sophisticated it was. It was so wonderful and as a event planner, I would recommend it to all my clients!"
"The design team was awesome! They helped me customize the magnet just the way we wanted it. A few of the magnets weren't printed all the way to the edge, but other than that the print quality is great! We plan on ordering our invitations from WPD too!"
"I would highly recommend this as a Save the Date for a couple who is looking for a stylish, classic look! The quality of the paper, the printing and the design are all simply outstanding. The design services were great and delivery was prompt. I added a little blingy to make it a little pretty. I am very happy!"
"My fiance and I bought these Save the Dates for our upcoming wedding because we loved the calendar idea and the font was very sleak. All of our guests told us how beautiful and classy the cards were because it didn't scream "SAVE THE DATE". Customer service and delivery was also great, we got the invites very quickly and they were a very quality product."
